Orioles’ Kremer leaves game with bruised right forearm after hit by line drive

Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer left Saturday night’s game in Colorado after he was hit on the right forearm by a line drive hit by Jordan Beck in the fourth inning. The Orioles say he has a bruised right forearm and that X-rays were negative for a fracture.

Kremer, who missed six weeks earlier this season with a right biceps injury, left the game immediately. The ball hit by Beck ricocheted to shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who flipped it to second baseman Jackson Holliday for a forceout.

The Orioles are already missing starters Kyle Bradish, John Means and Tyler Wells, who had season-ending elbow injuries, and Grayson Rodriguez, who has right lat/teres discomfort. Rodriguez hopes to return in September. Zach Eflin, who has right shoulder inflammation, is expected to return from the injured list to start Sunday’s game against the Rockies.
